Communication networks and systems for power utility automation - Part 6: Configuration description language for communication in electrical substations related to IEDs (IEC 61850-6:2009)

This part of IEC 61850 specifies a file format for describing communication-related IED (Intelligent Electronic Device) configurations and IED parameters, communication system configurations, switch yard (function) structures, and the relations between them. The main purpose of this format is to exchange IED capability descriptions, and SA system descriptions between IED engineering tools and the system engineering tool(s) of different manufacturers in a compatible way. The defined language is called System Configuration description Language (SCL). The IED and communication system model in SCL is according to IEC 61850-5 and IEC 61850-7-x. SCSM specific extensions or usage rules may be required in the appropriate parts. The configuration language is based on the Extensible Markup Language (XML) version 1.0 (see XML references in Clause 2). This standard does not specify individual implementations or products using the language, nor does it constrain the implementation of entities and interfaces within a computer system. This part of the standard does not specify the download format of configuration data to an IED, although it could be used for part of the configuration data.

Kommunikationsnetze und -systeme für die Automatisierung in der elektrischen Energieversorgung - Teil 6: Sprache für die Beschreibung der Konfiguration für die Kommunikation in Stationen mit intelligenten elektronischen Geräten (IED) (IEC 61850-6:2009)

Systèmes et réseaux de communication pour l'automatisation des services de distribution d'énergie - - Partie 6: Langage pour la description de configuration pour la communication dans les postes électriques, entre les dispositifs électroniques intelligents (IED) (CEI 61850-6:2009)

IEC 61850-6:2009 spécifie un format de fichier destiné à décrire les configurations de dispositifs électroniques intelligents (IED) liées à la communication, les paramètres de ces IED, les configurations de systèmes de communication, les structures du poste extérieur (aspect fonctionnel), ainsi que des relations entre tous ces éléments. Ce format a pour objectif principal d'assurer l'échange de descriptions de capacités d'IED et de descriptions de systèmes SA entre des outils d'ingénierie d'IED et le ou les outils d'ingénierie système de différents fabricants sans problème de compatibilité. Par rapport à l'édition précédente, les principales modifications sont les suivantes:
• ajout d'extensions fonctionnelles sur la base des modifications apportées à d'autres parties (Parties 7-2 et 7-3, notamment);
• ajout d'extensions fonctionnelles concernant le processus d'ingénierie, notamment pour l'échange de données de configuration entre les différents outils de configuration système;
• apport de clarifications et de corrections. Les points nécessitant des clarifications sont publiés dans une base de données disponible à l'adresse suivante: www.tissue.iec61850.com. Les incompatibilités émergentes sont énumérées en 8.2.3

Komunikacijska omrežja in sistemi v postajah - 6. del: Jezik za opisovanje konfiguracije za komunikacijo v postajah z inteligentnimi elektronskimi napravami (IED) (IEC 61850-6:2009)

Ta del IEC 61850 določa format datotek za opisovanje konfiguracije za komunikacijo v postajah z inteligentnimi elektronskimi napravami (IED) in IED parametrov, konfiguracije komunikacijskih sistemov, (funkcijske) strukture stikališč in odnose med njimi. Glavni namen tega formata je izmenjava opisov IED zmogljivosti in SA sistemskih opisov med IED inženirskimi orodji in enim ali več sistemskimi inženirskimi orodji različnih proizvajalcev na združljiv način. Definirani jezik se imenuje jezik za opisovanje konfiguracije sistemov (SCL). IED in model komunikacijskega sistema v SCL je v skladu z IEC 61850-5 in IEC 61850-7-x. V ustreznih delih se lahko zahtevajo SCSM posebne končnice ali pravila uporabe. Konfiguracijski jezik je osnovan na razširljivem označevalnem jeziku (XML) različica 1.0 (glej XML reference v Klavzuli 2). Ta standard ne določa posameznih implementacij ali proizvodov, ki uporabljajo jezik, niti ne omejuje implementacije entitet in vmesnikov znotraj računalniškega sistema. Ta del standarda ne določa oblike snemanja konfiguracijskih podatkov na IED, čeprav bi se lahko uporabljal za del konfiguracijskih podatkov.

Part 6: Configuration description language for communication
in electrical substations related to IEDs


FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61850-6 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 57: Power
systems management and associated information exchange.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 2004, and constitutes a
technical revision.
The main changes with respect to the previous edition are as follows:
• functional extensions added based on changes in other Parts, especially Parts 7-2 and 7-3;
• functional extensions concerning the engineering process, especially for configuration data
exchange between system configuration tools, added;
• provision of clarifications and corrections. Issues that require clarification are published in a
database available at www.tissue.iec61850.com. Arising incompatibilities are listed in 8.2.3.
